I asked Spirit for a message needed by the collective, and this powerful depiction of the three of swords popped out of my deck (@lightseers_tarot @pixiecurio).

The three of swords speaks to the deep pain of the heart. Moments of anguish have a way of reminding us how alive we are by placing us firmly in our bodies in the present. It can be so tempting to escape these moments, but while this depiction shows her agony, what I find so powerful about the image is her release of her voice! She is living in her pain authentically. She is in nature and it appears she is yelling from her soul. Sometimes we need to hear the echo of our will, our strength, and our power in times of helplessness and moments of deep sharp pain. By staying with these moments, we are taken to our limits and changed. In some ways we get stronger, in other ways we become softer and more vulnerable. By staying present, we can trust in the body, mind, and spirit to heal with truth, time, and commitment to life. We can use our voices and bodies to release. We can be brave and let it out so that it can move through us.

To help heal heart pain, crystals that are soft pink or green are of most assistance. By tradition, green is the color of the heart chakra. Consider morganite, rose quartz, chrysoprase, or green aventurine for gentle support. Close your eyes with or without a crystal, and imagine breathing in healing green light to your heart space, and imagine exhaling out black smoke. Imagine that your heart space is spacious. Gently place your hand over your heart and remember that your higher self is always with you for support. Allow the energy to move. Allow the body to let out the energy through yelling or tears or shaking or however it needs. And feel how as your heart space heals, you are healing the collective too 🤍
